Answer to Question 1

The labor supply curve shows the wage rate to be paid in order to hire each additional unit of labor. For a monopsonist, when it offers higher wages to attract additional units of labor, it must also pay the higher wage to all other workers. Therefore, the change in total labor cost rises even faster than the average wage rate, and hence the MFC curve will lie above the labor supply curve.

Answer to Question 2

True
